Comments: Nice to know that we have people to tell us we didn't hear the words we heard Obama say, but what we heard was what was said in the words Obama didn't say.
Well it makes as much sense as Mr Messina.

The Determination ad is a joke. Messina has been in full melt down for a few days. Yesterday he tweeted Romney couldn't win NC.

Obama knows he lost so he's already seeking revenge. A truly dangerous man and a truly dangerous situation.
I'm surprised there is any one of his minions with the guts to tell this little weasel anything bad. Like the video of Hitler in the bunker with all his people quaking in their boots because everything has turned to poop..... Oh to be a fly on the wall.....

If Obama loses I predict he will take out his revenge on the American people as well as the incoming administration - if you thought he wrote a whole lot of Executive Orders in the last few years just wait until the last 2 months of his term. He will use a wrecking ball on the economy.

Ordinarily I try to keep words like "hate" and "despise" for a person's actions, rather than the person himself. In most cases, I feel that "hate" is too emotional and makes us irrational when we need to stay calm and rational.
But I'm as close to despising Obama the person and his synchophants as I ever have been about anyone in my life. My contempt for them, meanwhile, is off the charts.

The President's plan for the middle class...I wonder what that is. More of the same? Decreased wages; more job loss; higher taxes; more freedom lost; more regulation to stifle and kill the economy off?

Revenge is a word used in Marxism as a way of exciting the masses. It was not a mis spoken word, rather a word chosen by speech writers. The walking back the speech is the just covering the crowd not getting the message...

The real revenge is going to come after the election. I predict that this will not be over tomorrow night. Even if Romney wins in a landslide, the Obamas are not going away quietly. He is now using code words in his speeches to gin up the armies of morons who support him. Conservatives watch your backs.

#7 - I know of at least one conservative legal foundation (Mark Levin's Landmark) that is already watching every move the Obama Admin makes, and whether Obama loses or not, they are preparing to go to court on anything he does (or his agencies like EPA) that isn't constitutional. I have faith in Levin and Landmark, and I trust there are other legal groups out there ready and willing to do likewise to protect us and our country.
#9 - Your words are exactly my own thoughts. And I don't like feeling this way.
#12, 13, 14 - I agree completely with all of you. Obama has been using marxist language much more openly and freely these last few months. His motto ''Forward'' is right out of marxist propaganda as well. It's always an us-vs-them, make-them-pay mentality. If you listen to how he says it, this particular instance (and Fox plays it often enough), you realize he knew exactly what he was doing. He didn't make this remark off-the-cuff.... it was planned. He knew his crowd would boo when he said Romney's name, and in fact he waits for it. Then they do, and he has his opening for this revenge comment.
Comment, heck. It was a command. He IS using code words - dog whistles, in libspeak - to gin up his supporters (and that old people ad is another indication of this) to become surly and violent if he loses. He doesn't want them to take revenge on anyone for their own sake ... he's instructing them to get revenge for HIS sake.
And for Messina to twist his guy's words into a sin Mitt Romney is committing ... well, first its just SOP for them, but it's truly vile.

Fortunately for Dear Leader(US) and his minions, he didn't have to work real hard at hiding his call for "revenge."
His willing servants, also known as RAT infested media whores, were happy to lose any reference to The Anointed One's use of the word in their newspaper articles this morning. All my fishwrap would cover on the Presidential election this morning was a rehash of every stinkin' poll that exists.
You know, boys and girls, I remember a time when the stories in the papers and television were concerning incidental stuff like ISSUES and CANDIDATES' PROPOSALS, not that the Dipsy-Doodle Poll Company found that among redhaired food stamp recipients, Obama led 55-45.

Revenge has been Obama's goal since he was old enough to swallow the anti-American rhetoric coming from the Rev. Wright, Ayers, the writings of Saul Alinsky and Marx and the worlviews of Van Jones, Valerie Jarrett, Michelle Obama and the rest of the Marxist cadre of czars who want to cut America down to size.
He wants revenge for slavery, for British colonialism, for perceived American oppression of the poor here and overseas and for capitalism in general.
...reveals hostile and divisive impulses.
Everything Obama has done has been both hostile and divisive, beginning with ramming thru Obamacare against the will of (white) people. Toss in his "redistribution of wealth" and his warning to kill the coal industries, too.
His elimination of the work requirement for welfare is just another example of hostility toward white people and to American ingenuity and self-reliance in general.
Mr. Obama is a walking, b-s'ing cauldron of hostility and revenge. This latest comment is simply another piece of his mask coming off for liberals to see.
The rest of us have seen it all along.

To 13 and 15, both very succinct.
All you have to do is watch him when he says it. Oh yes, he planned it, waited for it, and relished it rather deliciously when his plan for attack worked. His smug satisfaction was written all over his face, right along with the true intent behind his words.
Once you understand what this person is about, his face becomes like an open book. He should never play poker with anyone who really knows him.
This alone makes it impossible to stomach watching him as he spews his filth and lies to the public, he literally nauseates me when I see him speak.

If Obama gets voted out, the media isn't going away. They will be the ones to help get the revenge. The media is never going away and they are never going to change. Each year they get worse and still a huge majority tune in to them and see none of the bias.
Revenge, you bet we will see revenge and the unions, media, Hollywood, Occupy will never let up on President Romney. Harry Reid has already stated he won't work with Romney.

The few months after November 7th are going to be a very dangerous time in this country. Plan accordingly. I am not an alarmist but a realist and when groups of irrational people say they are going to riot, I listen. Obama would love nothing more than to further divide this nation. He wants us weak, angry and in a state of chaos. He is like a petulant child with a toy. He would rather break it, than share it.

The word "Forward" does not mean anything by itself. Just assume you are standing at the edge of a swamp. Forward! You have to use this word with something else - for instance, "Forward to the victory of communism!". It looks like Obama did not get good grades in his marxsist school neither. But he learn the word "revenge" well. So, we will try to remind him of our desire to revenge him tomorrow.

Ditto's to #22. The 'revenge' plea is aimed at the community-organized ones, suggesting that rioting and ripping America apart is their right. I expect that union thugs and ACORN militants will attempt to start a war within, as they have been 'organized' to do.

Some are claiming BHO knows he has lost. I disagree. He will not believe it when/if it happens tomorrow. He is so in love with himself he cannot see it. He probably believes an executive order will keep him on for a few more years. I can see him encouraging his followers to protest and riot. Liberals have a degenerative mental state full of hate and envy and see social injustice in everything where none exists.

I've wondered about this "revenge" comment. Freudian slip? Or just connecting with his base? Revenge for what? Unemployment? And whose fault is that? Romney's? Poor living conditions? I lived in the inner city when I was first married. I worked hard, stayed off drugs, and got out of there. Revenge for slavery? Far as I can remember - I had nothing to with that - and neither did anyone living today. In fact, my ancestors fought, and yes, even died, to end slavery, so revenge for what? Far as I can see, Obama is pandering to a spirit of victimization far more destructive than any real or imagined wrongs from the past.

I haven't read all of the Ldotter comments yet, and I apologize if someone else has referenced The Ulsterman Report from the Nov. 1 article entitled: Valerie Jarret – “After We Win This Election, It’s Our Turn. Payback Time.” (WSI)
We must vote out Obama, this unconstitutional usurper, He and those who surround him are pure, unadulterated Evil. If traditional Democrats want to save their party, which is doubtful, they will purge themselves of the George Soros-backed Marxists. Democrats like to have their Jefferson-Jackson Day dinners, but J & J are probably rolling over in their graves at what has been done to their party.

AS a typical propagandist, Jim Messina is trying to flip the damage to the opponent by simply declaring it was not Øbama who said it, but Romney! And then, simply and very quickly move to other topics in the hope no one will actually call him on the big lie. They also excuse it as mere "rhetorical" enthusiasm in the heat of campaigning. No one held accountable, and damage control on 24/7 alert. They have absolutely NO respect for the intelligence of voters or anyone who lives under the "We know better what's good for you than you do" administration all-powerful rule.

While Barack Obama abandoned the campaign trail earlier this week and retreated to Washington to oversee the storm-relief effort (doubtless hoping to persuade wavering voters of his leadership qualities in the process), the man who could blow him out of office next Tuesday knew exactly where he needed to be. For more than a month now, Mitt Romney has been virtually encamped in Ohio, the too-close-to-call ‘swing-state’ that history decrees he must win if he is to reach the White House. And it was there I found him — blue-check shirt open at the neck, sleeves rolled up ready for

Fox News Channel won the race during the vice presidential debate this week -- the ratings race. Fox brought in more than twice as many viewers as MSNBC and CNN separately, therefore beating the two networks combined. Not only that, but Fox even drew more viewers than each of the big three networks individually.

As Joe Biden and Paul Ryan tore into each other over chewy topics like Iran and tax during last night's TV debate, there was only one subject preoccupying tens of thousands of viewers - the Vice President's glaring toothy grin. Within minutes of the debate starting, Twitter was abuzz with users taken aback by Biden's behaviour and sent out mocking messages. One parodied his a trademark soundbite: 'For those brief moments you don't see a #BidenSmirk on my face, know that I've got a #BidenSmirk in my heart.'

Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

The murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell largely is being ignored by the mainstream media, even in the face of grisly testimony, such as what we heard yesterday.

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible.

It appears to be the same state news channel.(Snip for video)This latest dispatch from North Korea´s state television
